Thanks a lot Cess
Congratulations, I know that couldn't have been easy. I hope I'm able to be as consistent someday.
Thanks Swati 💖
Thanks Zarau! Happy to share 🙌
WOW! You are one of the most consistent and dedicated people I've ever seen!
Thanks so much Raghav 💖
Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

I think I can officially say I've been consistent. It was exactly two years ago I started the blog.
And wow, how have things changed since then? I think I'm most proud of having motivated people to start writing, improve every day, and never stop learning.

I just finished the 700 articles post, so I won't do another one of those now.
But let's take a minute to talk about consistency, what it entails, and how it can help you.
Note: I'll be talking about personal experience here
Consistency is doing something without hassle at a set time frame.
Let's take writing articles as my example, I do this every morning, and it never feels like a "must-do".
The goal with this is to turn consistency into a habit. It's almost like eating breakfast, going to bed, or doing your job.
These are all things you do without even thinking about it, and they are just so implemented in your workflow that you'd have to make an effort not to do them one day.
And that's the point where I'm at with learning/writing this blog. I have to force myself not to do it, which rarely happens.
So with that being said, I think I succeeded in turning my consistency into a healthy habit.
Wondering how to become consistent and never run out of content ideas?
I've chosen this daily blog as my outlet to keep on learning as a developer. And even though it's small improvements every day, it accumulates to a big growth over these past two years.
Even if I took two months off from work, I'm sure I wouldn't have learned as much as just spending this small amount every day.
Accumulated learning is the way to go for me.
Another benefit of this method is that you learn to break things up. You can't simply build a Twitter clone in an hour. You have to break it up into small steps, which makes it a super maintainable project to tackle.
I said I'll do every day without missing any days in 2022, so I'm still working on that.
From there, it depends. If you ask me now, I'd say I'll keep going, but you know life might happen, and things might change my feelings about doing this blog.
